To deliver 21st-century learning methods to students that allow it to achieve its mission and goals, the Rosedale Union School District wanted a solution that would make it easy and secure to manage the computers on its network. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the nine schools under the Rosedale Union School District to move to a distance learning environment to conduct classes and provide educational material – which they saw as an opportunity to try modern learning methods. However, the school district was aware of the potential threats of conducting learning in an online environment. The district’s IT department searched for a solution that provided the flexibility and security needed to conduct and manage online or distant learning for its students. The IT department then started searching for ways to consolidate its security and IT management. And this is when they came across Comodo.

A school district in Bakersfield, California, the Rosedale Union School District looks to educate all students in the district to make them career and college-ready.
